As you will have noticed, television broadcasters are constantly using protected musical works. It is practically impossible for them to ask for a separate permission for each work. That is why broadcasters enter into general agreements with us that give them broad permission to use protected works.

In a number of specific cases however, they do have to seek your permission. More specifically, when they want to use your music in: 

• the opening or closing credits of a programme;
• films and (fiction) series;
• commercials.

In these cases, it is up to you to decide whether your work may be used and, if so, under what conditions. 

Finally, your moral rights are always reserved. This means that if you disagree with a particular use of your work, you can always lodge an objection with the broadcaster on the basis of these moral rights.
